Real leather has a distinct, natural smell, often earthy or rich, which comes from the animal hide. Fake leather, on the other hand, either has no scent or smells more like chemicals or plastic. Next, check the underside and take note that real leather has a rough, fibrous base that feels slightly rugged, like the underside of genuine skin. While faux leather has a fabric-like or a smooth base that doesn't have texture. The last thing you want to look at is the grain pattern. Real leather has some imperfections, like an uneven grain or some subtle variations. While fake leather appears overly perfect with uniform patterns.

QuestionI bought a Furla bag in a vintage store and it has not a suede interior but a Furla-patterned fabric. Can it be real? It has a logo.Hannah MaddenCommunity AnswerYes, it could be real. Furla may have made a line of bags that had fabric interiors instead of suede ones. Since this bag is vintage, it might just be an old style that they don't make anymore.
